Robert and Gladys Zimmerman, the parents of George Zimmerman, filed suit in the Florida State Circuit Court in Sanford, Florida against Roseanne Barr. They allege that they were forced to leave their home and go into hiding because Barr tweeted their home address. The Zimmermans accuse Barr of violating their privacy and intentionally inflicting emotional distress and are seeking unspecified damages.

Orlando federal court and assigned to U.S. District Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell.

Some of you might remember that I predicted that would be Barrs attorneys first move because of diversity. Barr resides in Hawaii and the Zimmermans in Florida.

George Zimmerman is the man who killed unarmed 17-year old Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012. By claiming Floridas stand your ground, he avoided charges and arrest. The governor of Florida appointed States Attorney Angela Corey to investigate and in April 2012, George was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.

In July 2013, a jury of 5 White women and 1 Hispanic woman found George not guilty. The Honorable Judge Debra Nelson, who presided over the murder trial, did not allow the initial aggressor part of self-defense law to be included in the jury instructions, although she included the no duty to retreat portion of stand your ground law in those instructions.

The Department of Justice still has an open investigation on whether George violated Trayvons civil rights.

The lawsuit alleges that on March 28, Barr tweeted the home address for Robert Sr. and Gladys Zimmerman, forcing them to flee their home in the middle of the night and go into hiding. However, in an interview with the Orlando Sentinel published March 15, 2012, Robert Sr. told the Orlando Sentinel that he and his wife were already living in hiding. Barr acknowledged in papers filed with the court that she tweeted the Zimmermans address, and that she deleted that tweet as soon as she realized it went out to all followers rather than only the person she intended.

Robert and Gladys Zimmermans Lawsuit Moved to Federal ...

Yeah, I tweeted the address of George Zimmerman's parents, Roseanne Barr acknowledged in court paperwork this week, and now the comedienne has hired five lawyers to help her fight a lawsuit they filed against her.

On Monday, those lawyers filed paperwork asking an Orlando federal judge to throw out the suit filed last month by Robert Zimmerman Sr. and Gladys Zimmerman, who accuse Barr of violating their privacy and intentionally inflicting emotional distress.

Barr did post their address on Twitter on March 28 or 29, 2012, she and her lawyers concede, but it an accident she meant to reply to just one person, they wrote.

"i was actually going2 tweet the person who sent it2 me& tell them to take it down! But i hit retweet instead. Deletd in 5 sec," she wrote March 29, according to paperwork filed with the court.

Even though she published their Lake Mary address and phone number, her lawyers wrote, she's not liable for damages because she was merely putting out facts that were widely available elsewhere, including in the phone book, on the Internet and from the Seminole County Property Appraiser.

"Anyone could find them in the phone book or by conducting an Internet search," according to the defense motion.

In their suit, the Zimmermans allege that after Barr tweeted their address, they were forced to flee their home in the middle of the night and live in hiding.

But that does not jibe with what Robert Zimmerman Sr. told the Orlando Sentinel in an interview two weeks earlier, on March 15, 2012. He said then that he and his wife were already living in hiding.

On that date their son, Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman, had not yet been arrested, accused of murdering Trayvon Martin, a black 17-year-old.

A Seminole County jury acquitted George Zimmerman last year.

In Zimmerman lawsuit Roseanne Barr admits tweeting their ...

On the night of February 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida, United States, George Zimmerman fatally shot Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old African American high school student. George Zimmerman, a 28-year-old mixed-race Hispanic,[Note 1] was the neighborhood watch coordinator for the gated community where Martin was temporarily staying and where the shooting took place.[4][5][6] According to Zimmerman's subsequent testimony, Zimmerman shot Martin, who was unarmed, during an altercation between the two. Responding to an earlier call from Zimmerman, police arrived on the scene within two minutes of the shooting. Zimmerman was taken into custody, treated for head injuries, then questioned for five hours. The police chief said that Zimmerman was released because there was no evidence to refute Zimmerman's claim of having acted in self-defense, and that under Florida's Stand Your Ground statute, the police were prohibited by law from making an arrest.[7] The police chief also said that Zimmerman had had a right to defend himself with lethal force.[8] As news of the case spread, thousands of protestors across the country called for Zimmerman's arrest and a full investigation.[9] Six weeks after the shooting, amid widespread, intense, and in some cases misleading media coverage,[10][11] Zimmerman was charged with murder by a special prosecutor appointed by Governor Rick Scott.[12][13]

Zimmerman's trial began on June 10, 2013, in Sanford. On July 13, 2013, a jury acquitted him of second-degree murder and of manslaughter charges.[14]

Shooting of Trayvon Martin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An Orlando-based theater production company will run three performances about Trayvon Martin during its 2014-15 season.

The Beth Marshall Presents company is calling the yearlong effort "The Trayvon Martin Project," and will work with Valencia College and Penguin Point Productions for some of the performances. Some of the money raised from the shows will be donated to the Trayvon Martin Foundation, officials said.

George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old, in Sanford, Fla., in February 2012. The shooting and trial of Zimmerman drew national attention. Zimmerman was acquitted of murder in July.

The first part of the "The Trayvon Martin Project" runs Oct. 3 to Oct. 5 with six short plays and a poem "inspired by the tragic loss of Trayvon Martin," the company wrote on its website. Officials described the event further on the site saying, "The works carefully explore race relations and equality issues within our culture and specifically within the Central Florida community."

The second portion of "The Trayvon Martin Project" will run in February 2015 at Valenica College's east campus. The performance, titled "An Exploration," will also have a focus on Jordan Davis, the 17-year-old unarmed boy shot to death in a North Florida gas station parking lot over loud music. According to the company's website, this feature will "explore the waves and repercussionsfrom the Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis incidents."

The final performance is slated to run for 50 minutes and is titled "Hoodies." Trayvon Martin was wearing a hoodie when he was shot. Organizers said the play will either be presented at the 2015 Fringe Festival or at The Venue in June 2015.
